I think we are on the same page in terms of paying for abortion for social reasons (i.e. the woman herself should shell out the money). With regard to limits to abortion, I would agree that after a certain time limit (perhaps as you say 20 weeks - I think you mistakenly wrote “months” when you meant “weeks”) abortion should be restricted. I say “restricted” because although I would draw the line at performing an abortion after 20 weeks in cases where, for example, the woman suddenly decides she doesn’t want a baby after all, I would allow the procedure in cases where the baby has been found to have a deformity incompatible with life, where a threat to the mother’s health has emerged, and so on.

I personally don’t believe in abortion, but I do think it should be allowed in the early stages of pregnancy. After that I would limit to the so-called “hard cases” I mentioned above.

I agree with the concept of abortion be legal- to the extent that it protects the life of the mother AND the fully developed foetus- meaning a fetus that’s 20 to 27 months old and is capable of developing into a premature baby.

While I support a woman’s right to “choice”, I believe there should be limits to “abortion on demand”. I also don’t want my taxes going to non-health care related activities- such as discretionary infanticide. Expecting the State to sponsor this type of reason for abortion is like asking me to pay the cost of clipping someone’s toe nails, or using Botox to hide their facial wrinkles.
